Anyway to remove EFI from Windows 8?
location: 8forums.com - date: August 25, 2012
Hi everyone! Last month I tried to install Windows 8 on my Acer Aspire 5560 laptop. Now, due to acer's HORRIBLE EFI, I am unable to boot Windows 8. I actually came close to bricking my laptop, it wouldn't let me adjust BIOS settings or anything else until I pulled the battery. I re-installed Windows 7, and now I'm stuck. Is there a way I can use Windows 8 without EFI? Can I just remove the EFI directory on my flash drive? Or what. Help would be great. Thanks guys! video help | post reply | read more

Apps went missing from Windows 8.1 Pro Start Screen
location: winsecrets.com - date: December 5, 2013
Hi
I use a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit operating system. When I booted my computer today, I noticed something peculiar. Most of my apps like MS Word, MS Excel, Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player etc. went missing from the Start screen. Even when I click on the down arrow and go to the App screen I am not able to find any of those. Searching for these in the App screen does not return anything. I tried the search box which comes from Charms screen as well, with no success. I know these apps are installed in my system because I can see them in Programs and Features window and these apps are also working fine. For example, if I have to open up Excel and I would have open up an existing excel file to bring up Excel but there is no other way I could bvideo help | post reply | read more

Stay away from Windows 8.1 Media Center (Caveat Emptor)
location: microsoft.com - date: November 10, 2013
After trying out Windows 8.1 Media Center Pack for 2 months I'm giving up and will be returning Windows 8 for a refund. I will shortly be installing Windows 7. Here's Why.
I use the Windows Media Center to control my entire Home Theater System. I was really happy with the old HP Vista Media Center but unfortunately after 6 years of stellar service my hard drive died. I replaced the unit rather than repair in order to get the
latest and greatest. I decided on a Windows 8 desktop mainly because no one was selling Windows 7 into the Home user space anymore. I did my due diligence research on Windows 8 and became convinced that it would work for me.
Surprise number 1: All versions of Vista included Media Center (except home basic), anvideo help | post reply | read more

(uninstall not just disable)
Hello,
now I realized that I'd really like to get rid of this thing for good. It's already disabled but it still occupies some space nd maybe it's part still running in background. Once I had some instructions about uninstalling Windows Messenger from XP by hacking come config file and showing the component in Add/remove Windows features dialog. But i don't remember how this was done. Now need the similar thing about Defender and Security Central and UAC if possoble.video help | post reply | read more

How to Upgrade from Windows 8.1 Preview to RTM – Guide
location: 8forums.com - date: September 2, 2013
Windows 8.1 RTM is already available for download, so many users have actually decided to deploy it right away, even though the public launch will only take place in October.
Basically, the existing builds that are now published on file-sharing websites should provide an experience that’s very close to the one of the stable build coming out in October, as Microsoft has promised to roll out a new pack of updates just before the official release.
One of the problems users encountered with these leaked ISO is the fact that they require a clean install, so everybody would lose all settings and apps.
The good news is that upgrading from Windows 8.1 Preview to RTM is actually possible, even though you install the stable version of tvideo help | post reply | read more
